An easy, if not optimal solution, would be to NFS mount the filer onto your Netbackup master server and back that up w/o NDMP.

I think that I'm in a bit of a quandary. I'm trying to implement backups using Netbackup 4.5 for a single filer and a handful of unix and windows clients. I have a single Overland library with a single tape drive. As far as I can tell, I have to dedicate the single tape drive to NDMP. This would preclude backing up other systems to that tape drive. Is there anyone on the list that has run into this type of a problem with Netbackup?
Thanks,

As a number of people have pointed out, one option is to mount the filer onto the veritas media/master server via NFS or CIFS and then backup the volume. I figured on this as a fall-back option. I was hoping to find another mechanism, via NDMP on the server, to get past this.
